Anglesey Eggs

Anglesey Eggs recipe, eat well on universal credit

On Friday we ventured to Anglesey, in a virtual fashion, for another in Sue’s series of Welsh recipes.

Ingredients:-

4 Hard Boiled Eggs, shelled and cut in half
1 Leek, finely diced
4 Medium Potatoes, boiled and mashed
4 Tbsp of Margarine (We used dairy free to avoid Lactose issues)
2 Tbsp of Milk (Again Lactose free for us)
Salt & Pepper to season
A Pinch of grated Nutmeg
150g of Grated Mature Cheddar Cheese (Lactose free for us)
3 Tbsp of Cornflour
A additional 600ml of Milk (Lactose free for us)
50g of Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
2 Tsp of Laverbread


Method:-



(1) Fry the Leek in Margarine over a medium heat until softened.
(2) Boil and mash the Potatoes adding 1 Tbsp of Margarine, 2 Tbsp of Milk and seasoning with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Add the Leeks to the mashed Potato and mix well.
(4) Spoon the Potato mixture into a baking tray.
(5) Arrange the Eggs over the top.
(6) Drizzle the Laverbread over the Eggs.
(7) In a pan melt 2Tbsp of Margarine over a low heat and stir in the Cornflour to make a Rue.
(8) Gently start adding the Milk whisking continuously until all the Milk is combined.
(9) Allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
(10) Add half of the Cheese and a Pinch of Nutmeg, seasoning with Salt & Pepper.
(11) Cook for a further minute over a low heat stirring gently.
(12) Pour the Sauce over  the Mashed Potatoes and Eggs.
(13) Place in a preheated oven at 180c for 10 minutes.
(14) Combine the remaining Cheese and Breadcrumbs and sprinkle over the sauce.
(15) Return to the oven for a further 10 minutes or until the dish is bubbling and golden brown.

This was supposed to be a side dish… Suffice to say we’ll be eating the remainder reheated this evening.

Having spent nearly 10 months either in a hostel or in a tent we are probably better equipped than the TV chefs to offer you our low cost recipes. We've been there and done it, as it were! These recipes initially only required a (camp) stove, a couple of pans, a frying pan, maybe an oven and a limited number of ingredients. As we're slowly worked our way out of the bad situation we found ourselves in we've added both gadgets and ingredients to our kitchen arsenel.
 
We worked on and still are working on a budget of £4 to feed 2 people Smooh the Cat and sometimes scraps for the urban Foxes!
 
We hope you find these recipes fun, interesting, tasty and useful. They are all also Gluten Free as Sue has Coeliac Disease but normal pasta etc. will cost you less.
 
Feel free to use them, share them, print them, most or all enjoy them.
 
We hope they will be of assistance to those on Universal Credit, our Homeless friends, Students, those on a limited income or anybody looking for a little inspiration.
